What city is it located in. Charlotte?

Yes

Is the party selling this a person or a business ?

Person

Do you know the make, model, and year of manufacture ?

Livingston,by Beaver Piano Company, York, PA.
upright, about 1920, 52 (genuine ivory) keys

What is the size and condition of the roll collection ?

All playable, some very old some new.

Do you have a list of titles ?

Yes.*

How extensive was the reconditioning ? i.e. were all the pneumatic bellows and pouches re-leathered, or were only the obviously malfunctioning things fixed ?

The latter only, I'm guessing but I could get
more specific information from Klutts in Salisbury
who did the work 2-3 yrs ago.

Did you indend all the "xxxx's" to be present in your ad ?

No, sorrry, copied it from a flyer.
